One key requirement is filing the DIR-3 KYC form. This filing helps the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mca.gov.in\/content\/mca\/global\/en\/foportal\/fologin.html\">government<\/a> verify the identity and contact details of every director each year. Here\u2019s a quick guide to know who needs to file it and why it matters.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"439\" data-end=\"766\">All individuals who hold a valid <a href=\"https:\/\/filingpoint.com\/consultants\/is-it-mandatory-to-file-director-kyc-dir-3-kyc-every-year\/\">Director<\/a> Identification Number (DIN) and whose DIN status is <strong data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"545\">Approved<\/strong> as of 31st March of a financial year must file DIR-3 KYC in India. This applies even if the director is not active in any company. Filing must be done every year to keep the DIN in an active status and avoid penalties.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1506\">The DIR-3 KYC is a mandatory annual compliance for anyone who holds a DIN in India. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs introduced this requirement to maintain accurate records of directors\u2019 personal details such as name, address, mobile number, and email ID. Even if you have not used your DIN in any company during the year, you must still file this form if your DIN is approved.\r\n\r\nFor example, if a person was appointed as a director in 2023 and continues to hold the DIN in 2025, they must file DIR-3 KYC every year, even if they have resigned from all companies. Non-filing can result in the DIN being marked as \u201cDeactivated,\u201d which stops any company filings or new appointments until it is reactivated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"1513\" data-end=\"1549\">Checklist for Filing DIR-3 KYC<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"2062\">Here\u2019s what you need before filing the form:<br data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1597\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"1613\">Active DIN<\/strong> \u2013 Your DIN must be valid and approved.<br data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1655\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1657\" data-end=\"1675\">Director\u2019s PAN<\/strong> \u2013 PAN card details must match MCA records.<br data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1721\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1751\">Aadhaar or Address Proof<\/strong> \u2013 For identity and residence verification.<br data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1797\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1830\">Valid Email &amp; Mobile Number<\/strong> \u2013 An OTP will be sent for authentication.<br data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"1875\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1877\" data-end=\"1916\">Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)<\/strong> \u2013 Required to sign the form online.<br data-start=\"1952\" data-end=\"1955\" \/>\u2022 <strong data-start=\"1957\" data-end=\"1987\">Professional Certification<\/strong> \u2013 Form must be certified by a Chartered Accountant or Company Secretary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-start=\"2069\" data-end=\"2103\">Related Questions<\/h3>\r\n<p data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2213\">\u2753 <strong data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2144\">Is DIR-3 KYC mandatory every year?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2144\" data-end=\"2147\" \/>\ud83d\udc49 Yes.
